since i am grasping at straws, i also noticed that my portal seems to think i have a whole second relay box. I do not have one or any other expansion at this time and i did not include it in my code (i used the wizard to make it). I cannot figure out why it has the 8 extra slots when i bring up the portal though.

I tested my other float and it seems to work. I feel a bit silly but i reconfirmed all of my previous statements. I tested the float i am having issues with and it checks out. But the other float actually works
